What do I love about being a Local Guide:
Firstly I love to travel. Some of my most amazing experiences have been from local people telling me to go places that aren't on the normal tourist route. It seems a real shame that people miss out on these experiences because they don't know where to look. I love being able to read other people's experiences and post on my own.
Secondly, I love the gamification of the local guides. It pushes me to be more active as I provide more and more content and work towards badges etc.
Finally, it's a nice way to give back to your local community by sharing what's so great about where you live.
I love to share: 360 photos, but also reviews of places I have been.
How did I hear about Local Guides: I wanted to find a way to create and share 360 photos.
Fun Fact About Me:
Although it's not my main profession, I'm a trained stunt actor and still like to do this on the side. You can see me in the latest Pirates Of The Carribean movie.
